I'm working on a bit of a conversion and had a question, figured this is the best place for it.

1. Does the Monogram svt convertible have a tub interior

2. If so anyone know if it will fit the AMT cobra body and chas?

1) Yes, the Monogram is a tub interior with door panel inserts.

2) With some trimming and careful reshaping of the convertible boot area and the sides, it will fit. Also, the floor areas (on the underside) may require a bit of shaving to fit properly.

Thanks for the info. I wanted to go that route rather than cutting bumpers on the monogram versions.

I'm rejuvenating this build project with the 1994 Cobra Indy Pace. I did a nose swap onto the '95 GT Hardtop. That's in primer right now... Here's some internals.

Thanks, in reference photos the blocks and heads weren't blue but I like colored blocks lol.

That's all that matters,it isn't some car that's gunna sit in someone's garage collecting dust,it's your model build (besides,I likes it too )

I wonder if the Canadian Intake said 5.0 LITRE lol... little kit humor. But yeah I got some more done on the internals, and the body took a trip to the purple pond ...Also started the very basics of the GT Convertible...

Sorry about the body...I have a frame (non-Mustang) soaking as we speak,hate when that happens,LOL! Interior's startig to look familiar to my eye (and looking good )

[Scuderia]

Thanks lol I'm trying to figure out how I want to do the Tan/Black on the GT Convert. I don't know if i want to brush the black on, but the masking would be a real bear if i elect to spray...

Finally got a good weekend of serious bench-work and did some more on this one. Shot the stripped chrome tree with my aluminum spray. An got my chassis rolling. The rear end is a lil bit fiddly, but went well. Forgot to snap pics though, but all the fit is nice up front as well. I also got the convert in primer, but I'll post some on that after this is closer to done. Still unsure of interior layout for the convertible.

Just picked up a few more of the re-issue 1999 Cobra and a few of the Monogram 94-95GT issues.
